Hello Victor. Excellent.. To the Point Oil & Filter Change Video without any unnecessary talk. A Good Teaching Method. Wishing you much success.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@PaulGVerma thank you for the positive feedback!

[@tpp4007]

I think you nailed the intro, hopefully, no crazy thing happens in the future about your channel! But I think that intro pretty much solidifies your independence to not be associated with any trademarks, brands, or companies! Great job!

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

I hope so too!

[@alexeimiloslawsky2978]

Victor, like always. Great and simple explanation.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Glad you think so!

Thank you for the video. Very helpful. What did you use to remove the filter? Thank you again and keep on the good work.

Welcome back Victor, I was wondering what happened to your channel, now it make sense after the intro.

Yep, having the channel shut down wasn’t fun, but I’m back now. Thanks for watching!

Hi Viktor, may I know the difference between Genuine Lexus/Toyota engine oil filter (original size) and Genuine Lexus/Toyota engine oil filter (larger capacity)? Thanks a lot

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@wanyuting9866 The difference is the size, one is a bit larger. Presumably, it may provide some marginal benefits when it comes to the amount of oil flow through it.

[@stephenzies8867]

Great Job Viktor G. 👍

[@heyTRVLwithME]

Hi! How much torque would you apply to the four 10mm panel screws when you tighten?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

The repair manual does not give you a torque spec, but it would probably be in the 3 ft-lbs range.

[@mattfoster9519]

Great video, Victor. Is the oil drain plug gasket side specific? For instance, does one side have to go against the pan? Thanks

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@mattfoster9519 thank you Matt, both sides of the gasket are identical, so it doesn’t matter which side goes towards the oil pan.

[@mattfoster9519]

@@Viktor_G_Automotive Hey Viktor. I brought my 2023 RX to the dealership today for the second key delivery program and for the special service campaign 24LC03 (software update). When I tried to get in the vehicle, both keys would not unlock the doors. The vehicle was opened manually and the key had to be placed over the start button in order for the vehicle to start. The dealership kept the vehicle as they couldn’t figure it out. Any ideas? Thanks

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@mattfoster9519 since the vehicle is under warranty and at the dealership already, I would just let them figure it out. I would have to see it in person to diagnose as no cause comes to mind off the top of my head. I’m sure they will fix it.

[@mattfoster9519]

@ thanks Viktor. They said it was a loose negative battery terminal that caused this. When a software update is done, does the 12v battery have to be disconnected?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@mattfoster9519 hi, the battery does not get disconnected for a software update. I’m glad everything is working now!

[@johnkesler6003]

viktor i followed your instructions on how to replace my door lock actuator on my daughter 2013 Lexus RX 350. When I put the thing back together...I cannot get the door open. The actuator sounds like it is working...but the door will not open from the inside or the out side. I have a feeling the cables are off as is the post from the outside handle. How can I get the door open to remove the door trim? Any help would be appreciated

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Hi John, was it the front door or back door?

[@jasonusa]

Hey man. great video. Question, when I did my first oil change, the crush washer is stuck to the oil pan. After watching your video, I am pretty that's not the design of the oil pan. I tried using screw driver to remove it, but no success. Any advice?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Yes, it needs to be removed. A flat blade screwdriver and a hammer always work for me.

[@SinoMaticPayne]

Was that oil green or is it just my colorblindness messing with me.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@SinoMaticPayne I would personally describe it as yellow

Have you ever had to replace the new 3.4 twin turbo engine in LX ?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

No, I have not.

[@krzysztofb3061]

Hello. 😊how many Nm need the oil screw ?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Hi, in the video I mentioned 30 ft-lbs. You can convert that to 41 Nm.

Great video! Does that funnel screw into the same threads as are on the oil filter cap? Are the threads the same for Honda/Acura also. Where do you get a funnel like that?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Thanks! The funnel screws into the threads of the valve cover, I believe that the Honda one has a different thread on it from Toyota. You can get all the stuff to do the oil change from the links below the video. Cheers! Screw in oil filler funnel: amzn.to/3QbGQrG

[@291Core]

Is it possible to change the 9.8" display on the Lexus NX to a used 14" display ?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Theoretically, yes. However, the amount of work required might be massive - wire harnesses are likely different, as well as various modules etc. Would take a bunch of research to figure out what exactly would be involved in the swap.

[@291Core]

@@Viktor_G_Automotive thanks for the reply. I saw a 14” display that was relatively cheap and don’t know if I should buy it and replace my 9.8

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@291Core I honestly doubt that it would be plug and play, but you could try if the screen is very cheap and you are OK with experimenting and it possibly not working out.

[@trailslug893]

Viktor, I like the screw on funnel you are using. Do you have a link for that exact funnel?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

The exact funnel I have is from Snap-On. shop.snapon.com/product/supplemental/Engine-Oil-Funnel-for-Toyota-Vehicles/ASTOFTOY1038 There is a link for a comparable one from Amazon in the description below the video, which costs less than half of the Snap-On one: amzn.to/3QbGQrG

[@johnchen-f7q]

Hello victor, I would like to ask if rx350 f sport and rx500h use the same engine oil? Do you also put the same amount of engine oil? Is there any difference ? Thanks

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Same engine, same oil, same amount as the video

[@victorsaleeb5632]

My car is a 2024 NX 350 Hybrid. When should the engine oil be changed, after how many miles?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

The manufacturer recommended oil replacement interval is 10K miles. Some people choose to replace the oil every 5K miles for peace of mind.

[@zemo2332]

What is your option about that 2.4 turbo engine? Some mechanics are concerned about long term reliability after 120K miles.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

I personally think it will be great like the vast majority of all Toyota products.

[@asadb1990]

Why tighten the oil pan bolt with a giant ratchet? Just curious isn't that too much torque?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

After doing this for 20 years, one gets fairly experienced with knowing how tight to tighten various bolts without using a torque wrench. For a beginner, however, I would recommend using a torque wrench.

[@asadb1990]

@Viktor_G_Automotive makes sense. Again not being negative or calling you out was just curious.

[@mattydias9719]

Very good thx

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

You are welcome Matty!

[@kevingates3888]

Hello victor , i have a 2022 lexus nx 350 turbo but dealership put 0w16 instead of 0w20 at last oil change will it cause any harm?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Hi Kevin, it might be OK, but I’d personally use what is recommended on the oil filler cap and/or the owner’s manual.

[@zemo2332]

What is your opinion about changing the oil at 700 miles on a brand new car?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

I don’t think it is needed, but it won’t hurt anything either.

[@g91234]

Would this be the same for a 2023 or 2024 Highlander? Need to do first oil change after 1,500 mile or so before the "first scheduled" oil change at 10k.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Yes, if it has the new 2.4 litre turbo 4 cylinder in it

[@g91234]

Yup, just took delivery on a 2024. 10k seems like a long way to go for a hard working 4 cylinder. What would be your recommendation on first oil change and regular intervals? Would you also recommend the larger capacity filter listed in the description? Thanks in advance. looking forward to more...@@Viktor_G_Automotive

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@g91234 if it was my vehicle, I would use the larger filter and change the oil every 5K miles

[@andymike6575]

After the first 5000 miles on the break-in oil you can switch to full synthetic and go 10,000 mi between changes with a high quality filter such as Purolator One/Boss. Personally I like to change the breakin oil after 2500 miles, refill with new breakin oil and then change to full synthetic Amsoil 0w-16 at 5000. (2022 nx350h)

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@andymike6575 nice 👍🏻

[@EL-9999]

My 2023 NX 350h oil is 0w-16… but the car you worked on says 0w-20.
